Still holds up to new ivy/haswell procs when oc'ed

review by dr4g00n

Overall, if you don't mind the power draw and heat it's quite a viable processor for even high end gpu configurations and rendering.

ProsCons
Cheap nowadays, Great OC'er, Still faster than the Haswell i5's & sometimes Ivy i7's @ stock in games/benchmarks & image/video rendering when oc'ed.Requires watercooling or exotic cooling to hit high frequency usually, Uses a lot of power (~200-250w when at 4.2GHz 1.4v)
